Would you go off piste?

With the ski season in full swing, there's no better time then the present to be hitting the slopes.

It's fun and exciting whether you're a skier or a snowboarder, plus it's a good way to keep active and healthy - as well as a great way to see some stunning views from the mountains... but would you ever try something like this? Of course you would need to be at a professional standard to even attempt a off piste slope like this and even then it is extremely dangerous... but so is skiing/snowboarding in general.

I think sticking to the blue or green slopes sounds ideal to us!

Back-country Skiing

The ski season is upon us! There's nothing better the gliding down the snowy slopes on a clear day, but what about back-country skiing? It's a little more extreme and dangerous but this is exactly what skier Tommy Ellingson did, who is seen here launching off a jump at 8,000 feet on the White River Glacier!

Would you ever try something like this?
